Simple games.

Greetings!
First of all, I'm new to Linux, and hope to be, anytime soon, answering questions in this forum, like must of you are able to.
Now, I'd like to know where I can download a couple of easy-to-play with real-kickass-graphics games, and how to install them.
Thanks in advance!

There are two really good web sites with lists of Linux games, LibSDL and Happy Penguin. There are tons of games on these sites, and more are being developed daily. Of course, once you get familiar with Linux and some of the development tools readily available, you can start developing your own games.

If you're using gnome, there is a package called gnome-games that you can install via your package manager which depends on your distribution.

Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid is a great platformer, fun sprite graphics and really cool.

Tremulous seems to be a good shooter with really nice graphics.
